I would definitely use some heat when disassembling. I’ve only used their blanks for customs so far, they come disassembled, but the thigh pieces are pretty tough to plug in cold and the joint pieces can snap if your hand slips. I snapped one of those at the elbow, only break I’ve had with them so far. Once I started heating the arms & legs before pushing in the joint part I haven’t had any issues. They are not super fragile, just be careful with the thinner bits or any pieces that feel tight, same as pretty much any other figures. When in doubt, definitely use some heat.
Definitely give your customs different looks than Joe, Marauder or Boss Fight parts so I enjoy them, here are some guys I made with them:
I just need to find some stands that fit their feet, so far only the Fortnite ones work and those are huge and I don’t have many.
